Rules

Judges: The tournament will be held at Regular REL but we will still have multiple judges at the event to ensure a smooth progress of the tournament; answering any rules questions, or solving weird board states and disagreements.

Players are expected to act in a friendly and respectful manner. Any unsporting or aggressive conduct will not be tolerated. Players involved can be disqualified from the event and removed from the venue.

Rules: The rules of Premodern, including the legal sets and banned cards, can be found at premodernmagic.com/rules.

Reprints/Proxies: All tournament legal cards AND Collector's Edition (IE/CE) and World Championship/Gold Bordered cards are allowed at the PMEC. That means that you can play either your Alpha, Japanese 4th, Magic 2011, or gold-bordered Lightning Bolt. You are NOT allowed to play any other types of proxy cards including the Czech Premodern Championship 2023 Edition Basic Lands.

All players are expected to use card sleeves with a matt background to prevent any potential misunderstandings regarding imperfect card conditions. This is especially true for IE/CE/WCD cards.

Decklists/photos: You need to upload both a written decklist and a photo of your deck before the 18th of September at 23:59 CEST (UTC +2) via your registration link. No deck changes are allowed afterward. There might be random deck checks during the tournament.

If you do not have all the cards available for taking your deck photo (e.g., because you intend to borrow some cards on-site right before the event), you can substitute the missing cards with proxies. However, we remind you that the use of proxies in the tournament itself is prohibited.

If you fail to upload your decklist and deck photo by the aforementioned deadline, you will be disqualified from the event.
